  • Patent number: 6510416
    Abstract: A fuel delivery system performs a refueling operation in accordance with voice command signals audibly provided by a customer situated within a vehicle positioned for refueling. The customer generates audio signals representative of refueling transaction information, such as a request to initiate fuel dispensing activity, data indicative of the fuel type, fuel volume, purchase amount, and form of payment, and a request to terminate the refueling transaction. A microphone detects the customer voice signals and provides audio detection signals representative thereof. A speech recognition device converts the audio detection signals into corresponding fuel dispensing command signals. A controller generates fuel dispensing control signals in accordance with the fuel dispensing command signals and couples these control signals to the fuel dispenser assembly to effect operative control thereof.
